catalog of sacked quarterbacksRichard Mackson-USA TODAY SportsKyle Van Noy
recorded his first NFL sack on Oct. 25, 2015.It came on first-and-10 with 4:35
remaining in the first quarter at Ford Field.A quarterback by the name of Teddy
Bridgewater faked the handoff to the left and rolled out to the right. Van Noy
shifted into coverage duties before closing on the flat. And there he found a
Minnesota Viking running short on both open receivers and open real estate.Van
Noy proceeded to push Bridgewater out of bounds.Or, get a hand on him. Or, graze
him.It went in the box score as a loss of one yard in a game his side would
ultimately lose. And if Van Noy doesn’t remember the play, it’d be
understandable as to why. It was routine. Harmless. Perhaps not a sack at
all.But it was the only one Van Noy would log as a member of the organization
that drafted him.The 2014 second-round pick out of Brigham Young saw his Detroit
Lions tenure end after 31 games, including a wild-card appearance.Van Noy has
since appeared in 45 games between the regular season and playoffs for the New
England Patriots. The versatile linebacker has appeared in three Super Bowls
over that span, winning a pair while raising his career sack tally from one to
15.5.Who’s joined Bridgewater in Van Noy’s catalog over the last three
campaigns? Some interesting names.Here’s the chronological order as another
league year nears.QUARTERBACKS SACKED BY VAN NOYTeddy Bridgewater: 1 – Oct. 25,

was received in the exchange.Van Noy’s second sack followed only a couple weeks
later in his Patriots debut against Colin Kaepernick and the San Francisco
49ers. Then came a half-sack in Super Bowl LI against then-AP NFL MVP Matt Ryan
and the Atlanta Falcons in February.Van Noy would pen a two-year, $11.75 million
contract extension ahead of the 2017 opener and hit home for 5.5 sacks by that
January.More have followed.More ranging from Cam Newton and Matt Moore to Ben
Roethlisberger and Derek Anderson.Van Noy has gotten to 15 different
quarterbacks in all at a position where rushing the passer is one-third of the
job description. He’s tallied 4.5 sacks through New England’s last seven playoff
contests, too, with the Kansas City Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes and the Los Angeles
Rams’ Jared Goff on the other end of the most recent ones this winter.They’ve
all counted for Van Noy, who turns 28 this March and accrued 92 tackles, 3.5
sacks, one forced fumble and an interception this past regular season.Even that
first one out of play action against the Vikings at Ford Field.Depending on who
you ask. With the Super Bowl only nine days ahead, the Pats Pulpit staff is
traveling down memory lane to share it most cherished memories of the New
England Patriots’ previous 10 title games. Today, we’ll continue the series with
Alec Shane’s favorite moment: New England’s victory in Super Bowl 36.February
3rd
Chase Winovich NFL Jersey , 2002 saw me in the lounge of an overcrowded fraternity house in Providence, Rhode Island, my beloved Patriots miraculously
in the Super Bowl, two touchdown underdogs against an offense so prolific they
had been deemed The Greatest Show on Turf. The 2001 season had been a wild ride,
darkened by one of the greatest tragedies to ever occur on American soil, and I
was just so surprised that the Pats were even in the game that I wasn’t even
nervous; just looking forward to watching my team play and hoping for an
upset.The 2001 Patriots hung their hat on their strong, scrappy defense. Their
offense consisted of a group of middling skill players helmed by some skinny
nobody named Tom Brady that few people outside of the AFC East had even heard of
at that point. Brady was starting over a now healthy Drew Bledsoe, who had come
into the AFC Championship in relief duty and led the team to a win. There were
questions as to whether Bill Belichick had made the right decision starting the
young signal caller over the seasoned veteran.That young signal caller wasn’t
transcendent in that game, but he didn’t need to be - New England’s defense was
stifling and violent. Kurt Warner was running for his life. Marshall Faulk
couldn’t take two steps without taking a huge hit. Ty Law took an interception
to the house. Tom Brady passed for 145 yards and a score. And of those 145
yards, 53 of them came in the final two minutes, hitting JR Redmond
Chase Winovich NFL Draft , JR Redmond, JR Redmond... and then a streaking Troy Brown across the middle of the field for 23 yards, out of bounds with 21
seconds to play. A quick out to Jermaine Wiggins, a spike to stop the clock. On
comes Adam Vinatieri.Right down the pipe. That 48 yard field goal sent me to my
knees, face buried in my hands, sobbing uncontrollably as Patriots players
stormed the field, World Champions - a highlight I wouldn’t see until weeks
later. I would eventually find my friend Mike, who was also crying, and as we
hugged, laughed, cried
Chase Winovich Buffalo Bills Jersey , and hugged some more, the open windows of that frat house lounge played the song of an entire city erupting
around us.Mike would go on to become one of my closest friends in the world, a
groomsman in my wedding. The Patriots would go on to win four more Super Bowls,
three of them in spectacular fashion. Tom Brady would go on to become the
greatest quarterback of all time. And I would go on to still, even all these
years later, look back on that night, that exact moment when that ball sailed
through, as the single greatest experience I have ever had, or will ever have,
as a sports fan.
